Dr. Pannenkoek Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Herro there everyone,Let me explain my query before I report me plea,You see, recently I recieved Legoland (the PC game) from Amazon for about, £2.50,and since this game is from my childhood, and how I enjoyed it so much, I decided to buy it However, I have found from trying to install it that I get the following message,The program or feature "\??\D:\setup.exe" cannot start or run due to incompatability with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatable version is available.I have found from research using 'google' ;D that it was designed in 16-bit and that it shouldn't run for Vista and Windows 7 users.But I was wondering whether there would be a way to change formatting/whatever so it can run with Windows 7.yeahyeah THANKS. ;D Quote Link to comment
Navo Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Run in compatibility mode? Quote Link to comment
CarPileUp Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 It wont work. You are using a 64Bit OS and the game only works on 32Bit systems. You can try compability mode but I don't think that it would help. Quote Link to comment
Dr. Pannenkoek Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 How can I install it in compatibility mode? Quote Link to comment
CarPileUp Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 How can I install it in compatibility mode?Not Install. Just rightclick on the application --> properties --> then go to compability mode and choose Windows XP SP2. Quote Link to comment
Dr. Pannenkoek Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 But the message springs up when I try and install it, it hasn't been installed yet so I can't run it ATM. Quote Link to comment
CarPileUp Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) Then you can forget it. It will not work. Many old games don't work on 64bit system Edited July 14, 2010 by CarPileUp Quote Link to comment
bastardman Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Run the installer in compatibility mode? Quote Link to comment
Dr. Pannenkoek Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Is not possible.Ah well, I guess if I find an old pc, or just one with a worse OS, then I shall install it on it.Thank you anyone who suggested anything Quote Link to comment
Damien Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Make a dual-boot with xp or use vmware with a virtual xp install. Quote Link to comment
TheGreenGrasshopper Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 It won't work, I have it to with my pc's. Old games don't feel like working for some reason, the only way is a virtual OS, an old pc or emulator. Quote Link to comment
Darkstar Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 use vmware with a virtual xp install.That since iirc, vmware is on that pc with an iso of XP Quote Link to comment
pancool Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I know Im commenting on an old thread but I though this would be useful.I created an install for windows 7 64 bit and heres a link to it: http://www.4shared.com/file/q_gcy3gF/Legoland_x64.html This install will only work on 64 bit operating systems I am getting that sorted at the moment. You will not need the disk for the one I created. Quote Link to comment
Mathematic Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 How is this related to the thread. Is this some hidden-camera joke? Quote Link to comment
Dr. Pannenkoek Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 I bought another version a while back which worked with Win 7 for about £4 but thanks anyway o: Quote Link to comment
